I've been looking for a 35mm lens for my recently-acquired S3 and been tossing up between an original 3.5cm 2.5, a 3.5cm 1.8, or a CV 35/2.5. The repro lens that came out with the SP 2005 would be awesome but both hard to get and priced beyond where I'm willing to go for this.
I found a nice-looking original 3.5cm 1.8 on eBay (still nearly 3x the price of a new CV 35...) but a couple of the pics show the gap between the rear part of the barrel and the main section to be very uneven - I doubt it's supposed to look like this but if there's someone who'd care to chime in I'd appreciate it. Here are links to the 2 views that show the back of the lens from both sides:

If this is an inappropriate post or way to ask this question I apologize in advance.
Given the going prices for the original lenses I'm pretty much leaning to the CV but if there's a reason not to (other than originality), someone please let me know!
Thx,
Scott
